Understanding Scoliosis:
Causes and Impact
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, resulting in a sideways or rotational curvature. While the exact cause of scoliosis is often unknown, some possible factors contributing to its development include:
- Idiopathic scoliosis: This is the most common form of scoliosis, and its exact cause is unknown. It typically develops during childhood or adolescence and may be influenced by genetic factors.
- Congenital scoliosis: This type of scoliosis is present at birth and is caused by spinal abnormalities that occur during fetal development.
- Neuromuscular scoliosis: Conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord tumors can lead to scoliosis due to imbalances in muscle strength or neurological factors.
- 45% of adults with scoliosis report limitations in their ability to perform daily activities.
- 62% of individuals with scoliosis experience limitations in work-related activities.
- 71% of adults with scoliosis report decreased overall satisfaction with their lives.
Chiropractic Care: Addressing the Root Cause
At Carolina West Chiropractic, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for scoliosis, focusing on addressing the root cause of the condition. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, holistic approach that aims to restore proper spinal alignment, improve posture, and enhance overall spinal function.
During your initial consultation, our chiropractors will conduct a thorough examination to evaluate the severity and nature of your scoliosis. This evaluation may include a comprehensive medical history review, postural assessment, spinal analysis, and diagnostic imaging if necessary.
Based on this assessment, your chiropractor will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Chiropractic treatments for scoliosis may include:
- Spinal adjustments: Gentle adjustments are used to mobilize the spine and help improve spinal alignment, reduce muscle imbalances, and alleviate pain associated with scoliosis.
- Postural exercises: Targeted exercises and stretches can help improve posture, strengthen supporting muscles, and promote spinal stability.
- Spinal traction: Non-invasive spinal traction techniques may be used to gradually elongate the spine and reduce the curvature associated with scoliosis.
- Lifestyle modifications: Your chiropractor may provide guidance on ergonomics, postural corrections, and exercises to be performed at home to complement in-office treatments.
